The Third Seal (Famine)
The Black Horse

The third seal releases famine upon the earth so that food is scarce. In todays society it speaks of hyperinflation where the value of money goes down exponentially, having less and less purchasing power each day. This seal again, stacks with the first two because if there’s endless wars, countries will be spending huge budgets on fighting and will have to print more and more money to finance the war.

Look For
● Famine
● Inflation
● Hyperinflation

Revelation 6:5-6
“When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.””

A quart of wheat is the minimum amount that someone requires to survive each day and the price reflects that it costs 8-10x more than normal. So a $4 USD loaf of bread today would cost around $32 USD. This verse may not reflect actual prices, but it could just mean that someone will work all day and come home with only enough to feed themself for a day. If you’re reading this ahead of time, it may be wise to stock up on some canned, freeze-dried and other long life foods. You should also remember that God knows exactly what you require to stay alive as per Matthew 6:25-34, Proverbs 10:3 and many other verses so you shouldn’t go overboard.

There are likely to be natural disasters which destroy huge areas of crops and livestock across the globe with the possibility of secondary consequences such as locust swarms which rise from flooded areas.
